Keep an eye on Arti (Tor)

[Patrick]

Great!

HTTP CONNECT proxy support.

• I don’t think there’s actually anything in Whonix that uses this, but it was added for a reason, so presumably we want to keep it.

Not important. History:
Tor can now serve as http proxy - HTTPTunnelPort

@arraybolt3

Control port like functionality.

• Many of our features rely on C-Tor’s control port to work.

Some applications use Tor control protocol. Most of them are opt-in and related to their use of Tor onion. One exception is Tor Browser, which uses this for signal newnym.

@arraybolt3

Some way to determine if Arti is allowing connections at all or not

Not a blocker as this feature is broken also in C-Tor. History:
Connect to public Tor network by default / avoid Anon Connection Wizard (ACW) popup at first boot
